The employability skills which I need most are ability to communicate effectively,
implementation of EEO, WH&S and EM principles, along with problem solving skills. The
consideration of the following paragraphs will help me to develop my skills.
I have learned a lot from my industrial placement. It helped me to prepare and present
myself as a professional. I was little nervous about the industry placement however, I was
confident about my skills that I can impress the interviewer. I cleared the first round of written
and then I was called for interview. My interview was good as I have prepared well for my first
industrial placement. I had knowledge of theoretical skills and I prepared for my presentation. I
lacked ability to communicate professionally. However, the interview was good and I was
satisfied with my presentation. I was selected for industry placement of EDA Engineers. It was
good experience and my confidence level boosted. My industry placement of EDA Engineers
required communication skills both verbally and in writing which I had however not as a
professional (McMurray et al., 2016). This industry placement helped me to improve my
communication both verbally and written. I can communicate effectively however
communicating professionally is different from day to day to communication. Therefore,
industry placement helped me to develop my communication ability as a professional. Industrial
placement helped me to get an exposure to what is the real scenario of the industries. My ability
to communicate effectively has become better and improved (Karanges et al., 2015). I feel that I
can communicate professionally. Now, I can say that I developed my professional
communication and it will help me in my future growth.
